Pros

The work is fun and challenging while also being engaging. As a copywriter, I controlled several social media campaigns across multiple social media platforms. I took it upon myself to pursue celebrity brand relationships and create presentations for account managers. I also tried to do my best to serve each client in terms of bug reports, audience engagement and analytics, etc.

Cons

Management shows a clear negligence in caring for their employees. Rather, there is a hierarchy that, if you are upset with, you get fired with little to no real explanation. Your vacation time gets docked even if you are just a minute late yet they expect you to consistently stay late and I even worked through lunches. No real company hand book was given out nor do they have a real HR department. Someone had to convince management that calling people out in an email that was sent to the entire office might be a bad idea, so management made someone send an email that if anyone wasn't up to par, they WOULD be called out in the future and everyone in the office would be cc'ed in the email. Management neglected to tell us about painting one day and the entire office had dizziness and headaches from 1 pm to end of business day. I raised a question via email about this and management's advice was basically "suck it up". A fellow employee also sent an email to the entire office including the two bosses in which he was clearly mocking and bullying me for complaining about the heavy paint smell. Nothing was done. The entire office got that email and nothing was done. I was terminated for "playing video games" because "several people said they had seen me." There was no real evidence nor was there anything installed on my computer. I repeatedly asked for work to do and was given none, so I invented work for myself on a regular basis. There's an extreme false sense of teamwork; I think it's Stockholm Syndrome or a variation of that.

Pros

The clients your given are generally large and well known corporations.

Cons

The clients needs are put before the staff, sometimes expected to work well after hours. Also, when you work on a project and the client likes your contribution, you typically are not given kudos - rather the manager or owner. There is also a lot of favoritism
